Treatments for Gynecomastia
Treatment for Gynecomastia
Specific treatment for gynecomastia will be determined by your physician based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent of the disease
- Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- Expectations for the course of the disease
- Your opinion or preference
Surgery may be an option to help remove the excess tissue.
Often, if symptoms of gynecomastia are first apparent during puberty, it may be advised to wait as long as two years to allow for natural regression of the breast tissue. Your surgeon will help decide if you are a candidate for surgery.
